Ryder Cup Captaincy Reviews Are In: Watson Is Wonderful & We'll Know How Wonderful In Just 21 Months!

/Jay Busbee kindly posts a photo of Bode and Morgan Miller in happier times, before Bode apparently hit a shot that, had it not been for Morgan's Kaenon sunglasses, would have taken her eye out. 
If you really want to see what happens when a husband does the unthinkable--hit his wife with a shot--here is the photo she posted on Instagram. But you've been warned by the thumbnail version, it's gruesome but a good reminder to be extra careful if you hit the links over the holidays.
I'm guessing Morgan will not be present Saturday when Bode's Bob Baffert-trained and co-owned Carving runs in the $750,000 Cashcall Futurity at Hollywood Park, a key race in the new Kentucky Derby points chase. It's the FedExCup for horses.

/Steve DiMeglio has a nice roundup of player thoughts on Tom Watson getting the 2014 Ryder Cup captaincy nod, and thankfully no one mentioned his knowledge of links golf since of the hundreds of fun links in Scotland, the European Tour sold to the highest bidder and will be hosting at an inland Jack Nicklaus course.

/From Doug Ferguson's AP story on Tom Watson's selection as Ryder Cup captain:
''I'd like to congratulate Tom Watson on his selection as Ryder Cup captain,'' Woods said in a statement. ''I think he's a really good choice. Tom knows what it takes to win, and that's our ultimate goal. I hope I have the privilege of joining him on the 2014 United States team.''

**Bernard Gallacher, working out some of his stand-up material while talking to Sky Sports:
"I also think Watson is the perfect captain to get the best out of Tiger Woods, something we have not seen in Ryder Cups. Tiger only plays with Steve Stricker, but Tom will get him playing with other players ahead of 2014, plus, I think Tiger respects Tom for being very straightforward and criticising him when he spat and swore on the course."
Oh yes, he just loved it. Still does, to this day!

/Ryan Lavner with the highlights of Larry Nelson's Morning Drive appearance to discuss the news of Tom Watson's appointment as the 2014 Ryder Cup captain.
“It’s tough because it’s kind of the third time this has happened,” Nelson said, referring to the ’95 and ’97 captaincies. “It seemed to gather more momentum this year than possibly in the past. I’m certainly appreciative of the thousands of people who tweeted or sent me emails who were hoping this might be the time.
“I’m flattered, certainly disappointed. I don’t know why the decision was made the way it was, but you just have to honor that.”
